A Great Responsibility
C PON'l'ANEOUS r e a c t i o n s to President
Boyer’s complete reorganization of the
administration of student activities spreads
from complete accord, on one hand, to startled
disapproval, on the other.
Some see in the abolition of the fou’r
advisory councils a move to take all authority
away from experts in various fields. They
view with alarm any tendency to centralize
authority on so many varied subjects in one
administrative body.
Others, however, cite Hie inefficiency of
the widely spread out advisory boards, and
contend that elimination of them will provide
for a smoother working, more efficient sys
tem of administration. They believe that the
addition of student members on Hie two
boards will provide the necessary balance.
* # #
JN an unbiased view ol 1 lie change, it; must
be admitted that greater efficiency will
probably result. The tear of the alarmists is
that this increased power, although perhaps
handled more efficiently, will not be handled
as wisely. There is some justification for this
viewpoint.
However, the promise of the board to call
in experts, the provision for the regular at
tendance of the educational activities man
ager, the University business manager, and
the Emerald editor, and the inclusion of a
representative from the journalism school
during spring term, appears to be a sincere
move on the part of the administration to
provide expert advice.
* # #
ACTUAL determination of how well the
new setup ivill function, of whether un
just powers will be. usurped, or of whether a
wisely-handled, better efficiency will result,
cannot be made now. A year’s program under
the reorganized boards will have to provide
the answer.
During this year much will depend upon
the board members. Upon the wide and just
use of their greatly increased power rests the
success of the student body activity program.
A great responsibility is in their hands. It is
to be expected that they will respect this trust,
and continue to act. in the best interests of
the ASI'O and the University.
No Saturday Classes
rJ'MIK reeont discussion over I lie value of
Saturday classes, on which I lie faculty
committee will vote May ‘JS, uncovers an
issue which lias Io 11hern recognized as a
weak point.
As a rule, Saturday classes are no more
than a travesty on a class, for work, activities,
games, and just plain "laziness’’ lead stu
dents, ordinarily industrious tive days out of
the week, to cut their Saturday classes ruth
lessly.
■A halt-empty classroom is not conducive
to interest on the part of either the student
or instructor, and it is to he wondered if
anything can he accomplished in an atmos
phere so discouraging to studious thought.
Sleepy yawns and wandering attention typify
even those Spartan enough to attend.
Students who work on Saturdays are at
a disadvantage, for if they cannot attend they
lose lecture periods that are hard to make up.
and often the courses they want are offered
only on Saturdays. To give up a day 's work
for one or two classes is in most cases more
than they can afford.
During fall term especially, when games
cut heavily into the live-day schedule, Satur
day classes are practically worthless, for
cither they are excused, or students cut them
in simh great numbers that they may as well
he excused.
If the faculty committee votes to abolish
Saturday classes, they will not only he making
an innovation, but recognizing a condition
that has existed for some time as well.
Stop, Stop, Stop
j^TUDENTS owning ears are considerably
more numerous this year than for some
time. Every indication points towards an
even greater number of student-driven cars
next fall. This means an ever-increasing flow
of traffic on Thirteenth avenue and adjoin
ing streets.
City and administration officials have
realized than an increased traffic flow means
greater danger to campus pedestrians. Jiroad
yellow warnings to slow down have been
painted on Thirteenth.
However, as the Emerald has mentioned
before, this is not enough. Only by the nar
rowest margins are dangerous accidents
avoided every day. The corners of University
and Kincaid streets are particularly bad as
potential accident spots.
Next fall, with an increased number of
ears and students, the situation will grow
steadily worse. Now is the time for action.
City and administration officials should com
plete their job well started, and remedy this
problem immediately.
Climb On The Trucks!
'J'ODAY at 12:10 a squad of' Oregon base
ballers with a northern division ehampion
sliip practically theirs will roll into Kugene.
Associated Student leaders have taken the
initiative in planning for a rally and pep
meeting starting at noon at the College Side.
Not only have they planned for this peppy
get-together honoring the nine, hut they have
provided trucks so that every student can
join in tlio fun.
The next move is up to every living or
ganization and to every individual student.
The living groups can eoperate by postponing
lunch until after the rally. The individuals
can do their part by participating hi the wel
come.
With exam time almost here this will be
the last chance of the year to join in a spirited
collegiate rally. If the affair is a success it
way well act as the needed encouragement
for the fighting Ducks to take the remaining
two contests from Oregon State.
The rally will be a half-hour well spent.
. . . Climb on the trucks!

MORE ON ‘MOOCHERS’
To the editor: The Moocher’s Dunkers com
mittee for the senior class picnic has been officially
authorized to perform its duties at the event.
The committee's duties are to inflict punitive
measures on any freshman, sophomore, junior, or
law school students not of the class of '37 who
may dare to try and pass the sacred portals of
senior standing and try to “crash” the official
senior class picnic. Such a person has been desig
nated a “moocher” and the committee wishes to
eliminate those undesirables.
This is not a fascist committee.
As for whatever technicality the Emerald wish
es to raise concerning the meaning of the word
moocher, it is irrelevant and highly irreverent to
the sanctity of seniors, since we are supreme and
are not to bo questions by any member of the
lowly other three classes (and the law school).
Signed,
MARGILEE MOUSE,
Senior Class President.
Editor’s note: Proxy ]M. Morse clears up all
misunderstanding. Evidently if “moocher*” are
"moocher*" they cannot "mooch." I.iit if "moocli
ers" are “sniooehers" they can smack along with
no fear of punishment.

Junior Weekend Has
■
Flag Day Race Origin
By BETTY THOMPSON
(Editor's note: The celebration of any traditional event often causes
people to wonder and speculate about the origin of the custom. I-Ience,
the observance of the annual Junior weekend aroused the curiosity of
one person, who turned to old files of the Emerald, the Oregon Weekly
and Monthly, the Old Oregon, and the Reflector, the old University
j publication, to satisfy that curiosity.)
Bloody noses, black eyes, scratches and bruises of all kinds, and
battered and demolished buildings
always accompanied the annual
Flag Race, pioneer of Junior week
end events. In fact, the campus
became a miniature battlefield with
the juniors pitted against the other
classmen.
Class Flags Fly
The object of the race, for the
juniors, was to raise and fly the
class flag for the day, and to ac
complish this, they would take the
utmost care. One year it meant
hiding the flag in three different
parts of town. Another year the
class built a guard house half way
up the flag pole. But despite their
well-laid plans, the other students
forced the guards to leave the
house by drenching them with a
fire hose.
In 1890, the Junior exhibition, an
oratorical and musical program,
was first held in Villard hall (and
the reader was reminded that the
name of the building was pro
nounced Vil lard not Villard’). This
event climaxed the program of
Flag Day for 22 years, when, in
1912, it was discontinued because
"no interest" was manifested.
Names Well-known
cH’vrrni laminar names appear
on some of these programs. The
Jate Professor F. S. Dunn was
among those who spoke at various
exhibitions.
The ensuing years did not lessen
the destructive nature of Flag Day.
An account taken from the paper
in 1900 says "The smoke of the
battle having cleared awav, Dr.
Strong." then president of the Uni
versity. "congratulated the re
gents that the buildings on the
campus were still standing.”
Finally, in desperation, the ad
ministration granted a holiday to
the junior class in 1903. Then in
I90,'i they could no longer si and
the destructiveness, so they declar
ed a holiday and proclaimed a Uni
vesity Day upon which everyone
would work to beautify the cam
pus. Thus several of the present
traditions included in Junior week
end came into existence. The first
campus luncheon was held in this
> ear.
Sidewalks Laved
The work was done under the
supervision of . the engineering
class, and the sidewalks around
Deady hall and between Kincaid
and Deady still bear testimony to
the fact ttiat on University Day
in such a year, a part of the side
walk was made.
Then m 1908. the first Junior
weekend, and, incidentally, the firs;
rush week was held For the first
time high school students and \i->
tov around the state were asked*
to the campus. This year the “O
on Skinner's Butte was made. The
Prom, which had heretofore been
a small private affair, was opened
to the public and held in the ar
mory.
A banner year was recorded in
i 1910 in so far as the evolution of
( Junior weekend is concerned, for it
was in this year that the first real
campus luncheon was held. (The
others had been held in the men’s
dorm.) Also in this year the drama
1 club produced a play, and the first
women’s edition of the Emerald
appeared.
Women Suggest Fete
The first womens’ edition sug
gested the idea of a canoe carnival
on the race. The following year a
queen ami royal court, princesses
to attend her and knaves to draw
the royal float, were chosen. Ttie
carnival, however, was not held
because of rain.
•iniercsung items appear m the
papers during' the following years.
One item notes that all the women
students could do was to clap. It
was then considered unethical for
them to participate in the yells the
men gave. Also at the luncheon the
i men were served first.
A unique method of calling dances
at the prom was also mentioned.
Low and upper class dances were
differentiated by using a green and
white light, respectively. The grand
march was led by the president of
the class and the girl with him.
Empress in 19i(>
The first queen to reign at a
canoe fete was Dorothy Shockley,
small daughter of Ed Shockley, the
wrestling coach. This was in I9lt>.
During the war, flowers were
banned at the prom, but no one .
would think of doing away with it.
The first prom queen was elected
in 1930, and the first queen to reign

Characterizing the reorganiza

of student activities, and speaking
for President Boyer, Dr. Pallett
said, "The reorganization is made
in the interest of simplification,
and it is felt that the student ac
tivities program will be strength
ened appreciably. All members of
the student executive committee
will be voting members of either
the athletic board or the educa
tional activities board, with the

PROCESS
AGING"
the exclusive EDGEWORTH
method to enrich flavor
and take out tongue bite
Try it at our Risk
\ V 7TIAT happens in fine wines- hap
VV pens in tobacco—aging mellows
and enhances llavor.
As every tobacco expert knows, pipe
tobacco can be rushed through the plant
and save big sums ol' money. Edgeworth
does not do this—that's why Edgeworth
is different.
Edgeworth is PROCESS-AGED, a
method as vital to these fine tobaccos
as aging is to line wines. Process-Aging
requires twelve steps, each under labo
ratory control. It takes 4 to 7 times as
long as might seem necessary. But in
no other way can we guarantee that
Edgeworth will not bite the tongue.
If Edgeworth is not the most delicious
pipe tobacco you ever smoked or if it
bites your tongue, your money will be
cheerfully refunded.
NOTE: There are three kinds of
Edgeworth for you to choose from:
1— Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed—a
cool, long-burning tobacco preferred
by seasoned pipe smokers.
2— Edgeworth Plug Slice—for the
pipe smoker w ho likes to crumble the
tobacco in his hands until it’s just
right for him.
3 —Edgeworth Jr—for the pipe (and
cigarette) smoker—the same tobacco
also Process-Aged, but cut for “roll
your own” and manufactured to give
the beginner a milder, more free
burning smoke.
